hofuku sochi 報復措置 - one note of the shakuhachi (or two?) [Naviarhaiku#142]

went literal: one held shakuhachi note, resonating at C1 - C6

The haiku of the week was written by Sôen Nakagawa, a key figure in the transmission of Zen Buddhism from Japan to the Western world.

The shakuhachi is a Japanese end-blown flute that was originally introduced from China into Japan in the 8th century. If you’re curious to hear how it sounds, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7s-wXZWT5o

Ornate Surface [naviarhaiku352]

I am a human animal & through my creative practices seek to connect to the flow of life to let my innate intuition guide me before my logical mind controls me. To undo or at least side-step some of my cultural conditioning so the spirits of the place I am in can express through me. This  forest I am in, the rock I sit on beside this stream, the footpath below my feet, this vast planet we all live upon. The natural world so often unconsidered, ignored, I aim to give it some voice.
